Paleteria La Chilindrina is a Mexican paletería and antojitos counter in Kansas City, Kansas — paletas, nieves, elotes, mangoneadas, botanas and mariscos-style tostadas. Its own website publishes a complete priced menu of 56 items and gives the address as 3726 State Ave, Kansas City, KS 66102, corroborated by the business’s own Instagram bio and by the Kansas City, Kansas CVB listing.123 This differs from the address under which the business is commonly indexed — 962 Pacific Ave, on the Central Avenue corridor, which the corridor merchants’ tour and Yelp still carry. The first-party evidence for State Avenue is current and unambiguous; the Pacific Avenue premises’ status is ****. See Disputes. Tier 1 — independent, Wyandotte County. Owner and founding year ****.
Description
Paleteria La Chilindrina is a paletería in the broad Mexican sense: not only paletas and nieves but the whole warm-weather antojitos counter that surrounds them. Its own menu runs across nine sections — ice cream, sundaes, elotes, aguas frescas, bebidas preparadas, dulce y sabroso, funnel cakes and escamochas, botanas, and mariscos-style tostadas — with almost everything priced between three and fifteen dollars.1
The house item is the chilindrina, the wheat-cracker snack the shop is named for, sold plain at $8.99 and dressed with Takis at $11.99. The name itself is a double reference: chilindrina the snack, and La Chilindrina the Chespirito television character. It is a widely used paletería name across the United States, which makes careful entity discrimination necessary — see the disambiguation note below.
The business is carried by the Kansas City, Kansas CVB, which describes it as “located off State Avenue, a perfect place to hang and grab a cold treat.”3
Corridor note. This page was opened as a Central Avenue corridor entry: the corridor merchants’ Flavors of Central tour lists “Paleteria La Chilindrina, 962 Pacific Avenue, KCK 66102” among its 33 businesses.4 The first-party research below moved the address. The business is retained in the Registry on its own merits; its corridor placement is not confirmed and other corridor pages should not cross-link it as a neighbour of el-pirata-kck or tacos-el-tio until the Pacific Avenue question is settled.
Ownership and history
Not established. No owner name, founding year, family history or press profile was located in any source that could be opened. The business’s own site carries no “about” text beyond “Bienvenidos A Nuestra Paleteria!” and closes with “Gracias!”, the address and the phone number.1
**** A Kansas Secretary of State entity search and a Wyandotte County food-establishment licence check for both addresses would resolve most of this in one pass and have not been run.
Independence: no chain, franchise or out-of-metro parent identified.
⚠ Disambiguation — this name is heavily shared. “Paleteria La Chilindrina” and “La Michoacana”-style paletería names recur nationally on unrelated businesses. Only sources that name 3726 State Ave or 962 Pacific Ave, Kansas City, Kansas are used on this page. A “Paleteria La Chilindrina” Instagram aggregation page and several out-of-state listings surfaced in search and were discarded.

Transcription caveats, recorded rather than smoothed:
- Two entries — “Mangoneada Especial -14.99” and “Pepino Split- 10.99” — are published without a dollar sign. Read as dollars; reproduced as published.
- The bebidas line reads “Tepache-$8.50 Preparado-$8.50” on one line. It is counted here as two items at $8.50 each, but it may be a single item (“Tepache Preparado”). ****
- “Mangoberry” and “Nequick” (Nesquik) are listed without prices.
- The site also carries a standalone “$14” not attached to any item name; it is not counted and not attributed.
- Section headings are the site’s own (“Ice Cream”, “Sundaes!”, “Elotes!!”, “Aguas Frescas!!”, “Bebidas!!”, “Dulce y Sabroso”, “Botana!”, “Mariscos!”), lightly normalised here for the tables only.
Disputes
- Address — the material dispute on this page.
- 3726 State Ave, Kansas City, KS 66102 is given by the business’s own website and its own Instagram bio, and by the CVB listing, which places the shop “off State Avenue” and geocodes it to 39.1181905, -94.6715371.123
- 962 Pacific Ave, Kansas City, KS 66101 is given by the Flavors of Central corridor merchant tour and by Yelp, and appears in the caption of a 2022 TikTok post on an account bearing the business’s name.45
- Both are recorded. The likeliest reading is a relocation from Pacific Avenue to State Avenue, since every first-party surface reachable in 2026 gives State Avenue and none gives Pacific Avenue — and because the Flavors of Central inventory is independently known to carry stale entries. That reading is not asserted as fact. A concurrent second location has not been excluded. ****
- Hours. 11:00–20:30 circulates via a third-party Kansas City content page. The business’s own site publishes no hours. Not recorded as fact.
- Spelling of the name. The CVB listing URL and page title misspell it “Paleteria La Chllindrina” while the listing body spells it correctly; several directories invert it to “La Paleteria Chilindrina”. Recorded as aliases.
- Social accounts. At least three accounts bear the name — Facebook
/paleterialachindrina(spelling variant, missing an “l”), Facebook/paleterialachilindrina, and TikTok@la_paleteriachilindrina1— plus the Instagram account used here. Which are current and which are stale is unresolved; only the Instagram account, which links the website, is relied on.
